1 # And in the seventh <07637> year <08141> Jehoiada <03077> strengthened <02388> (8694) himself, and took <03947> (8799) the captains <08269> of hundreds <03967>, Azariah <05838> the son <01121> of Jeroham <03395>, and Ishmael <03458> the son <01121> of Jehohanan <03076>, and Azariah <05838> the son <01121> of Obed <05744>, and Maaseiah <04641> the son <01121> of Adaiah <05718>, and Elishaphat <0478> the son <01121> of Zichri <02147>, into covenant <01285> with him.
2 And they went about <05437> (8799) in Judah <03063>, and gathered <06908> (8799) the Levites <03881> out of all the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and the chief <07218> of the fathers <01> of Israel <03478>, and they came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389>.
3 And all the congregation <06951> made <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285> with the king <04428> in the house <01004> of God <0430>. And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Behold, the king's <04428> son <01121> shall reign <04427> (8799), as the LORD <03068> hath said <01696> (8765) of the sons <01121> of David <01732>.
4 This is the thing <01697> that ye shall do <06213> (8799); A third part <07992> of you entering <0935> (8802) on the sabbath <07676>, of the priests <03548> and of the Levites <03881>, shall be porters <07778> of the doors <05592> ;
5 And a third part <07992> shall be at the king's <04428> house <01004>; and a third part <07992> at the gate <08179> of the foundation <03247>: and all the people <05971> shall be in the courts <02691> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> .
6 But let none come <0935> (8799) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, save the priests <03548>, and they that minister <08334> (8764) of the Levites <03881>; they shall go in <0935> (8799), for they are holy <06944>: but all the people <05971> shall keep <08104> (8799) the watch <04931> of the LORD <03068>.
7 And the Levites <03881> shall compass <05362> (8689) the king <04428> round about <05439>, every man <0376> with his weapons <03627> in his hand <03027>; and whosoever else cometh <0935> (8802) into the house <01004>, he shall be put to death <04191> (8714): but be ye with the king <04428> when he cometh in <0935> (8800), and when he goeth out <03318> (8800).
8 So the Levites <03881> and all Judah <03063> did <06213> (8799) according to all things that Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548> had commanded <06680> (8765), and took <03947> (8799) every man <0376> his men <0582> that were to come in <0935> (8802) on the sabbath <07676>, with them that were to go <03318> (8802) out on the sabbath <07676> : for Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548> dismissed <06358> (8804) not the courses <04256>.
9 Moreover Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548> delivered <05414> (8799) to the captains <08269> of hundreds <03967> spears <02595>, and bucklers <04043>, and shields <07982>, that had been king <04428> David's <01732>, which were in the house <01004> of God <0430>.
10 And he set <05975> (8686) all the people <05971>, every man <0376> having his weapon <07973> in his hand <03027>, from the right <03233> side <03802> of the temple <01004> to the left <08042> side <03802> of the temple <01004> , along by the altar <04196> and the temple <01004>, by the king <04428> round about <05439>.
11 Then they brought out <03318> (8686) the king's <04428> son <01121>, and put <05414> (8799) upon him the crown <05145>, and gave him the testimony <05715>, and made him king <04427> (8686). And Jehoiada <03077> and his sons <01121> anointed <04886> (8799) him, and said <0559> (8799), God save <02421> (8799) the king <04428>.
12 # Now when Athaliah <06271> heard <08085> (8799) the noise <06963> of the people <05971> running <07323> (8801) and praising <01984> (8764) the king <04428>, she came <0935> (8799) to the people <05971> into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>:
13 And she looked <07200> (8799), and, behold, the king <04428> stood <05975> (8802) at his pillar <05982> at the entering in <03996>, and the princes <08269> and the trumpets <02689> by the king <04428>: and all the people <05971> of the land <0776> rejoiced <08056>, and sounded <08628> (8802) with trumpets <02689>, also the singers <07891> (8789) with instruments <03627> of musick <07892>, and such as taught <03045> (8688) to sing praise <01984> (8763). Then Athaliah <06271> rent <07167> (8799) her clothes <0899>, and said <0559> (8799), Treason <07195>, Treason <07195>.
14 Then Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548> brought out <03318> (8686) the captains <08269> of hundreds <03967> that were set over <06485> (8803) the host <02428>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Have her forth <03318> (8685) of the ranges <01004> <07713>: and whoso followeth <0935> (8802) <0310> her, let him be slain <04191> (8714) with the sword <02719>. For the priest <03548> said <0559> (8804), Slay <04191> (8686) her not in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
15 So they laid <07760> (8799) hands <03027> on her; and when she was come <0935> (8799) to the entering <03996> of the horse <05483> gate <08179> by the king's <04428> house <01004>, they slew <04191> (8686) her there.
16 And Jehoiada <03077> made <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285> between him, and between all the people <05971>, and between the king <04428>, that they should be the LORD'S <03068> people <05971>.
17 Then all the people <05971> went <0935> (8799) to the house <01004> of Baal <01168>, and brake it down <05422> (8799), and brake <07665> <00> his altars <04196> and his images <06754> in pieces <07665> (8765), and slew <02026> (8804) Mattan <04977> the priest <03548> of Baal <01168> before <06440> the altars <04196>.
18 Also Jehoiada <03077> appointed <07760> (8799) the offices <06486> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> by the hand <03027> of the priests <03548> the Levites <03881>, whom David <01732> had distributed <02505> (8804) in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, to offer <05927> (8687) the burnt offerings <05930> of the LORD <03068>, as it is written <03789> (8803) in the law <08451> of Moses <04872>, with rejoicing <08057> and with singing <07892>, as it was ordained by <03027> David <01732>.
19 And he set <05975> (8686) the porters <07778> at the gates <08179> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> , that none which was unclean <02931> in any thing <01697> should enter in <0935> (8799).

20 And he took <03947> (8799) the captains <08269> of hundreds <03967>, and the nobles <0117>, and the governors <04910> (8802) of the people <05971>, and all the people <05971> of the land <0776>, and brought down <03381> (8686) the king <04428> from the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>: and they came <0935> (8799) through <08432> the high <05945> gate <08179> into the king's <04428> house <01004>, and set <03427> (8686) the king <04428> upon the throne <03678> of the kingdom <04467>.
21 And all the people <05971> of the land <0776> rejoiced <08055> (8799): and the city <05892> was quiet <08252> (8804), after that they had slain <04191> (8689) Athaliah <06271> with the sword <02719>.
